PROJECT OVERVIEW The Project provides 200kt of incremental permanent storage capacity with fixed in-loading equipment and addresses environmental issues experienced by growers de-tarping prior to sampling. · Mechanical works including bulkhead realignment, new conveyors including auger pit construction, concreting · Electrical works to connect new conveyors to existing site electrical system · Large scale earthworks (over 40,000 m3 of cut to fill) · Large scale pavement and sealing works—over 90,000 tonnes of gravel delivered, with 100,000 m2 of sealing and asphalt laid · Over 2,500 m2 of rock pitching in drains SCOPE OF WORK Construction of five new full specification sealed open bulkheads (OBH 01 to 03, OBH 08 and OBH 09) with 1.8m frames (between 265m and 410m). Civil earthworks and formation of bulkhead pavements, intersections, and access roads. Access roads and tie into existing facilities. Construction of a de-tarping road prior to the sampling activity – inclusive of wind speed indicator. Modify drainage basin – to win local fill. Installation of 2 x CBH supplied Auger Pits and Conveyor Loading Systems (CLS) plus necessary support equipment including but not limited to trippers, stackers, compressor slabs, compressor and MCC. Modify OBHs 05,06 and 07. Commissioning and testing of all new infrastructure.
